linux4arabs already used such a logo so we need to distinguish ourselves a
little.

Thanks it's not an easy job I've just discovered. I found that I am always
doing two steps while designing.
Step #1: Design (on paper and PC)
Step #2: Look at it again and drag to trash ;)
For examples see below...
> Sherif.. You forgot to tell the size of logo.. don't tell me it's 80x80
> pixels it's too small..
This is exactly my problem, I realize this is a logo not a banner so may be
the best thing is just to type the name of the site in color like Fedora
logo ;) However, this is the last idea which I came with
Step #1: Design
* The text is the website name which help spread the word. I also intentionaly
added the .org to reflect that I used OOo Draw to design part of this logo.
* The colors used are blue, green, and orange to blend well with Fedora colors
and the website theme.
* The square blocks reflect our steps towards building a stable system. The
base is missing one block which will be put when we don't have arabic-related
bugs with the base tools such as Qt, GTK, ICU, ...
* I could change the size to whichever but the file size is still big so I may
need to use a vector program (sodipodi?) and export to SVG. I am sorry I
haven't time nowadays to play ;)
Step #2: Drag to trash
Already done ;)
Why?
A little cluttered and not very suitable for small sizes
Comments?

Actually, I am still waiting for my redhat account activation.
Yesterday, I sent another email to Sarah to enquire about that. It's
been two weeks now since my request was filed....
In the meantime, Munzir agreed to commit the changes on my behalf once
we reach a valid/stable state.

Our beloved qamoose
by Munzir Taha
Salam,
I am now checking some words to the Qamoose but want to point some issues:
1. I believe it's better to refrain from clear words that nobody confuse like
date, error,... (or is it confusable to some?)
2. Default is افتراضي with only one YEH.
3. Don't add الـ where it's not necessary like in Directory.
4. If the encoding of the page is unicode(utf-8) then translation for
Filesystem and home dir will not appear correctly (Which should mean that
those two are cp 1256 and the others are utf-8) Whereas, if the encoding of
the page is cp 1256 then all my translations doesn't show and all the others
show properly (which means that there is something wrong somewhere). To
interpret this is behind my knowledge, will you please explain.
Keep up the good work!

I understand that Maha is not yet done with the document,
I just saw it, and wanted to let all know that it is there :)
Thanks Maha ..

howto or anything he/she might think of, please do use the
